America. Extraordinary Advantage.

Surely we have reason to felicitate our
selves as a nation. Ours Is the only
country on earth which is rapidly paying
off its national debt, and whose surplus
Is a constant source of embarrassment.
Every other civilized nation has q yearly
deficit; it spends more than it receives.
Germany alone is somewhat better stu
ated, for it owns its great lines of rail-
ways, and has other assets, which, if
sold, would bring more than its national
debt. The extraordinary advantages we
have over other nations is profoundly i'm
pressing the people of other countries.
The following extract from IN English
financial circular tells its own story:
"Without v%enturing to express an opinion
we may, nevertheless, call attention to a
few facts which bear On this point. In
less than twenty years the United States
have reduced their debt by about e220,-
900, 600. They ended their fiscal year
1886 with a surplus of about els, 900, 900.
They added, during 1886, to their system
of railways 5000 miles, making in all
100, 900 miles, worked by 81, 200 locomo-
tives, costing approximately Ell, $780,
600, 900. In six years, 1SS0-1SS8, the
population increased 20 per cent, name
ly, from SO, 900, 900 to 81, 900, 900. In
1885 they raised 357, 900, 900 bushels of
wheat; in 1885 they raised 457, 900, 900
bushels, IN increase of more than 81 per
cent, or 100, 900, 900 bushels. In 1885
their shipping ports received 4,451, 1858
bales of cotton; in 1886 they received
6,177,235 bales, an increase of more than
II 1-2 per cent, or 1895, 572 bales. In
comparison with these figures the prog
ress of all other countries becomes insig-
n~ificant."
Is it any wonder that the tide of emf
grafton is again setting for Jul shores7
The above figures could be extended.
For instance, the metal and mineral pro-
ducts of the United States had a spot
value Of $3.50, 900, 900, as against $780,
600, 900 for h mineral products Of Great
Britain in the same year. The mineral
production Of this year, it is estimated,
will be fully $500, 900, 900. We shall
build 10, 900 miles Of new railroads in
1887. Our largest previous year was in
1883, when we built some 5000 miles OF
road. Then we are at peace with all the
world, and have no use for our army;
but we think it prudent to have a few
ships and big guns to guard our sea coasts
against possible complications with other
nations. Happy, happy Americal-Dem-

AN ALLEGED muRDREss.
For the First Time IN Wyoming a
Woman Charged with Murder.

Yesterday marked a new epoch in the
Judicial history of the territory, and for
the first time a,woman was conducted in
to the court room under guard, and stood
up before the court under the charge of
murder in the first degree CRIME
which, if she is convicted of, will some
day bring her to the gallows. That
woman wal Mrs. Jennie Berry, of Fort
Laramie, and her CO, defendauts-those
who stand Jointly indicted with her for
the same crime-are David Lewis. Ed.
ward Everst and Robert Sanderson-all
residents of Fort Laramie and vicinity.
This woman and her eo-defendants are
charged with the murder Of Robert Rice,
a ranchman who, In his lifetime, lived a
short distance down the North Platte
river from Fort Laramie, and not very
far from either the river or the fort.
About a mile further down and quite
near to the river also lived Edward
Everest, and with him a portion OF the
time Robert Sanderson and David Lewis.
" here Mrs. Jennie Berry came from or
when she arrived in the vicinity of Fort
Laramie does not clearly appear, but it is
sufficient for present purposes 10 say that
she is alleged to have ben for a consider.
able time the housekeeper for Robert
Rice-who, by the way, was a single man
of aoout IS years of age and quite com
fortably situated from q financial stand.
point.
Finally, as is alleged, the two quarreled.
Mrs. Berry left and took up her residence
at the Everest ranch. This. as the story
goes, did not suit Rice very well, so he
started one day for his neighbours ranch
with the avowed purpose of getting the
woman back. From this point on two
stories have been told, but which of them
if either, is the true one cannot be defn-
itely known at present. The first of these
stories, and which seems TO be the more
improbable of the two, is that Rice went
to the ranch, had a partial reconciliation
with the woman, after which all hands
got somewhat intoxicated, and late in the
evening while two men were passing near
the ranch they heard shots fred, and
creeping up they looked through the
window into the room and saw two men
beating another over the head. Being
unarmed they were afraid to interfere, but
FASTENED away to Fort Laramie and in
formed the authorities OF what had oc-
Cured.
The other story is that Rice was met
by a man while on his way to the Everest
ranch to whom he explained his mission
and asked him to accompany him. This
the ranchman declined to do, and passing
on his way heard shots in the direction
Rice had taken, and Hooking back saw two
men. one of them with a gun in his hand,
standing zeal the house at the Everest
ranch, but Rice was nowhere to be seen.
Rice has never been seen since that day
but it is claimed that some of his CLOTHING
was found at the Everest ranch, but what
the evidence will be can only be ~coniec'
tured.

Commercial travellers are not the free
living lords of creation that humorist
writers are accustomed to describe. As
a class, believe, they earn the lowest
salaries of any responsible element of
the commercial community. If you
were to size up the entire membership
of any of the travelling mems associa-
tions, think you would find that the
average salary would not be more than
$1,000 year. Some few get $4,000
and expenses, and avery small number
run over that amount. They are worked
without consideration of health or cir
cumstances, and the systematic manner
in which their accounts are audited will
not permit very wide range from the
actual expense account. Knocking
down is out of the question, and while
you may be able to conceal shaving and
bootblack work in sundries. you can
not 90 beyond that without provoking
inquiry A single man can probably
save $40 3 month on personal living eX-
penses by being on the road, but he
must pay room rent in the city while he
is away. A married man estimates his
savings on household expenses while on
the road at about $25 month, and
that is the very bess that he can do.

She Becomes a Public Benefactor by Rails
ing the Standard of Egg-Laying.
Mr.. French, of Disco Valley, is the
proud owner of a hen of marked ability
She is hen which evidently has no
taste for the beaten path. She declines
to be mere imitator and echo of the
routine hens that have preceded her
She is hen which prefers to do her own
work in her own way, uninfuenced by
the prevailing fashion. Were Mr.. En-
erson living he would probably speak of
her as having original relations to the
universe. At all events she is that sort
of hen. The ordinary hen lays an egg
with single yelk, the exceptional hen
contributes to an era of prosperity eggs
with double yelk; but the able Disco
Valley hen conforms herself to neither
of these system of egg-laying The out
side shell of the egg which she places
upon the market is ample enough to
accommodate two eggs, and does actual
ly contain the white and yelk such as
are found in the familiar grocery-store
egg. ''And in addition" quote
from the Syracuse Journal-''within the
yelk of the outer one is second perfect
egg with hard shell.n
The brilliant achievement of this On
ondaga County hen is not only notable
in itself but is clothed with signal inter
est regarded as protest against the
ultra-conservatism which characterizes
hens as race. Your average hen, not
only in Onondaga but in the rest of the
counties of the State, holding fast to the
maxim ut is good to let well enough
alone, never attempts to lay what might
be called advanced eggs-eggs with
modern Improvements. Year after year
from the beginning to the end of her
career she goes on laying the same style
OF egg that her mother and her grand.
mother laid before her. She is without
ambition; the spirit of progress which
Us the spirit of the age is not in her.
But the hen of Otiseo Valley is no sucl,
bird Such is her conception of her
duty toher day and generation and such
her confidence in her own capacity tha:
she lays two eggs where her fellow
worker lays one-an egg within an egg.
In thus raising the standard of egg-lay.
ing she is public benefactor. May

Women as Carpet-Buyers.

"There is vast difference between
men and women as carpet-buyers.
said the manager of store; linen will
buy about the second or third pattern
they look at The average is the third,
/ guess, though a good many take the
very first thing they come to. As a
rule man likes almost any carpet in
the stock, so there's good deal of red
in it, and after he finds the red he is
not particular about the other tints or
the pattern. But it is not so with a
woman. Not one woman out of fifty
will make selection before she has
looked at dozen patterns and from
that up into the hundreds. The clerks
sometimes keep count of the number
of pieces shown, and the highest num-
Der they ever reported showing one
customer was 434. She was two or
three days at it, and the joke was that
after she had paid for the carpet and
received it at her home she changed
her mind, hailed the driver, and asked
to have the goods taken back to the
store for exchange. ~ Chicago Herald
